WALKOUT ABOUT COMPLETE
"Transportation Net Yet, Seri

ules Are Well Maintained
1 tu Atiectattd Prtu
Chlcne. July 3.-Th8 six railway
hop craft unions which went en strike
Biturday were outlawed by the United
States Railroad Laber Beard today.
In a formal resolution the beard de
clared that the unions by their action
forfeited all rights before the beard bb
railway empleyes and that new organi ergani organi
sateons of shepmen taking the striking
en's Jobs should be formed te represent
the shop empleyes In disputes Deierc mc
heard.
' The beard requested empleyes re
v, wining In the service and the carriers
He tike steps Immediately te form tcse
new organizations.
Ne Lenger Empleyes -
The resolution formally declared tlmt
the striking shop workers are no longer
empleyes of any railroad and therefore
without the jurisdiction of the beard or
whject te the application of the trans-
, poratlen act. Although applying dl-
f rectly te the shepmen nt this time, the
beard also said that If the maintenance
of way men, slgnul men, stationary
flrereen and eilers and clerks joined the
'walkout, they would be relegated te the
tame position as the shepmen.
Letters will ba addressed by the beard
te both the carriers having men en
strike and te the shepmen remaining
at work, advising them te form new
"associations or organizations" which
would function In bchnlf of the em em
peoyes before the beard and which would
be accorded the application and bene
fit of the outstanding wage and rule
decisions of the beard.
The beard's pronouncement formally
seconded the statement of Chnlrman
Ben W. Heeper Saturday, that mt'ii
remaining en the job should net be
called "scabs' or be considered a
"itrlke-breakers." The rcHolutlen said
such men were "within tlielr lights"
and "have the mernl as well ns the
legal right te engage In such service
of the American public te avoid in
terruption of Indispensable railway
transportation." 8ueh men are entitled,
the resolution added, "te the protection
of everv dennrtinent nnil branch nt tlie
Government, State and national."
Count New Strike Vete
Interest was also centered today en
developments dependent upon the enn
vass at Detroit of the strike vote of
400,000 maintenance of way empleyes
and action by their union officials.
Edward P. Grnblc, president of the
maintenance of way empleyes, who re
turned te Detroit after conferences here
with officials of ether unions, teduy ap
parently held the key te the strike sit
uation and upon him hopes for averting
further walkouts largely were banked.
Claims en the completeness and effec
tiveness of the shepmen's strlke dlf
fered according te the sources. Union
officials asserted that the walkout wns
virtually 100 per cent and would sorl serl sorl
eusly hamper railroad operations. Hull-

CLUB AT MINERS
Threaten te Open Seme Mines
en Nen-Union Basis if Con
ference Falls
U. S. SEEKS TO DELAY BREAK
Bu Asseciattd Press
Washington, July 3. Lines of dif
ference were drawn mere tightly than
ever today when representatives of bi
tuminous 'coal operators and officials of
the striking cenl miners' union went
Inte their third joint conference in
company with Secretaries Hoever nnd
Davis.
Prier te the meeting It was evident
that the operators Intended te force
some sort of a conclusion today without
yielding from their refusal te meet the
union for the purpose of ninklng up a
national or seml-nntlennl wage f-cnle.
Frem the views of Jehn L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers,
It wns evident that the miners consider
It necessary te prolong the strike rather
than agree te negotiate for district wage
sculcs with the operators.
At n lengthy meeting by themselves
the bituminous operators' representa
tives prepared absolution incorporat
ing their view, and though its detail
was held confidential it was understood
that If the joint conferences broke up
today the operators hnil been determined
te open a number of union mines In
former union territory en a non-union
basis en Wednesday.
The principal property se understood
te bc rendy for opening was n fiOOO-ten
dally capacity mine of the Pittsburgh
Ceal Company in Pennsylvania. Va
rious ether mines In strategic points
throughout the central cenl Held were
nlse understood te bc selected for Im
mediate operation.
The old wage scale calls for a base
wage of $7. 50 per day underground,
while the mines that will open nre te
offer miners the 1017 scale, which hns
a base of about ?" per day underground,
Iieth the union officials and operators
nppcnr te be fully Informed of cncli
ether's determination nnd the only
doubt remaining concerned the Govern
ment's proposal.
Secretary of Laber Davis nppeared
still hopeful before the nicetics; nnd
wns again the chief source of the im
pression tlmt the Administration would
Intervene further before letting the
gathering fall of accomplishing a strike
settlement.
After the presentation of the opor epor oper
ntors' resolution te the joint meeting
there wns another discussion during
which the Government's representatives
wcre sqld te have urged the joint con
ference net te brtak up hut te leave a
small committee from each side In
Wnshlngten until next Monday while
the remainder return te their homes.
The miners nnd the operators then
separated, each side te discuss the pro
posal apart from the ether.
The tactics were taken te indlcnte
that if the Government had n settle
ment proposal te muke It would be ad
vanced by President Harding personally
upon his return te the city from

Five minutes late and driving

miles an hour, the 11:30 P. M. flier

wrecked at Winslow Junction fifteta
minutes after midnight this mernir-
Taking the wrong switch te Cape
May by error of the tewerman, the
Jieavy train failed te respond te the
rails and plunged ever a steep em
bankment, the en?ine and seren
cars becoming a mass of twisted
wreckage.
At neon Charles H. Ewing, vice
president of the read, issued an eMr
cial statement, explaining that the
tewerman had thrown the switch
"seemingly in the belief that a train
of empty passenger coaches, which
had previously passed, was train
Ne. 33."
Mr. Ewing adds that the "signali.
j as displayed, apparently were net
observed by the engineman of Train
Ne. 33, who took the junction switch
1 at full speed. This caused the da-
1 railment."
The vice president of the line
premises a searching investigation
by the read, in conjunction with the
Interstate Commerce Commission
' and the Public Utility Commission
j of New Jersey.
Nine known dead had been taken
out by daylight, ten were misS'
i ing and seventy-two were injured
' thirty-seven of them seriously.
I The injured included sixteen women
nnd ten children. Seventeen of the
injured nre Philadelphinns. The
small less of life as compared te the

The wrecked train was catapulated
at such speed that it crossed ever
